(Updates casualties)

JERUSALEM, Sept 5 (Reuters) - A parking garage under construction collapsed in Tel Aviv on Monday, killing at least one person and trapping several others under the debris, rescue services said.

Some 20 people were treated for injuries.

The cause of the collapse was not immediately known, and several hours after the structure came down in a plume of dust, police said about five people were still missing and believed trapped under the debris.

The incident occurred in the Tel Aviv neighborhood of Ramat Hahayal adjacent to a hospital and buildings housing high-tech offices and restaurants.
